(Video) An Easy Way to Keep a Tent Warm in the Freezing Cold

winter-camping

Heat on a cold winter's night is critical – and that is if you are located in a building.

In a tent, particularly in very cold climes, it is a necessity! This video shows you how to use a wood stove to safely heat your tent or survival structure.

If you are intentionally camping in the cold, a wood stove is an awesome convenience that keeps you warm beyond sitting huddled up against a camp fire.

In a survival situation, outfitting your tent with a wood stove before you need it is a good idea – that way, if you need it in cold weather, you have it.

What other heating options in a tent or survival structure would you recommend? Tell us below.

    I use a good sleeping pad, bag and in really cold nights, i’ll heat up some water, fill up a bottle, stuff it in a sock and put it in the bag with me. Keeping it between your legs keeps you toasty.

    A wood stove isn’t really feasible in a lot of tents- a tarp between you and the ground and a foam pad (inflatable or solid) build your early campfire with a rock ring and drop a few into your sleeping bag, have a light blanket in the bag with you along with the next day’s socks and other clothes –

    Look up a tent called The Arctic Oven, it’s made up here in Alaska and is the best tent for sub zero temps and is made to use a wood stove- it’s a little expensive but if it’s a tent you want that’s the way to go-

    Best way to keep tent warm in areas where you can build a fire is to dig hole about the size of your tent,build fire and keep burning until you have a really good bed of coals,cover with 6 or more inches of soil put your tent on top.You stay warm all night.Just be sure you get the coals covered with enough soil

    THE AMAZING
    SOLAR AIR LANTERN
    The Solar Air Lantern can provide emergency lighting without relying on batteries, fuel or the need to plug it into the wall for power. Just lay in the sun to charge – then inflate the lantern and enjoy hours of bright ambient light. Keep one in your car, at home, or in your bug out bag – the Solar Air Lantern can provide the backup light that you need.
